More on the Amazing Clinton-Russian Uranium Scam

[flacaltenn]

And it's unacceptable to help Russia corner a global market such as uranium...

Australia has more than 3 times the amount of uranium than Russia has.

We KNEW that Russia was tying up mining ops in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. And YET -- we give them mining rights to a large chunk of America? You're a hypocrite on "russian collusion".

 

[flacaltenn]

seeking to buy U. S. Uranium which needed the approval of the Obama administration and the Clinton State Department;

Except that.....Russia didn't need the tiny amount of U ore those mines produce.

" February 1993, Russia and the United States signed an agreement on the disposition of highly enriched uranium (HEU) extracted from Russian nuclear weapons.[1] Under the terms of the deal, Russia undertook to down-blend 500 tons[2] of HEU, enough to build 20,000 nuclear warheads, over a 20-year period. The two sides agreed that the resulting low-enriched uranium (LEU) would be used as fuel by nuclear power plants in the United States, hence the informal name of the program, “Megatons to Megawatts.”

Got that? 500 tons of Highly Enriched Uranium! Sent to and sold to nuclear power plants in the US.

So what? Why is it you have no indignation to SOLE extraction rights for Uranium in the US? For ANY amount.

You seem to be applauding our dependence on Russia for this critical resource. Since WHEN has it become fashionable to do business with Russia again? You think a Trump HOTEL in Moscow is a bigger deal?

That's crazy talk.

Exactly. They are talking out of both sides of their mouths.

They claim Russia is an enemy, yet they claim it's ok for Russia to control 20% of the US uranium reserves.

Which one is it? Are they are enemy or an ally?

I'm all for great relations with Russia. I think it would truly a global stabilizing move. But -- if the media and the "resistance" want to find COLLUSION --- we'll help them do that. After Uranium One, we go for Podesta group and their work with the Massive SBerBank..

 

[TheDude]

Ha, yeah, let me know when there are prosecutions & liberal media calls things as they are. To date that's not the world we live in. Even the obvious is ignored.

And we have a over 10 billion barrels of oil in ANWAR.

Less than 2 year worth at 20 million barrels a day.

Open up the coastal waters off Fla. instead?

Like has been explained numerous times, the US subsidiary that operates the mines is required by law to sell their product in the US. Furthermore those mine represent about 4% of the Uranium we use in any given year.

Uncork everything....it's fucking retarded to sit on natural resources and not use them.

Nuclear power and electric cars are the solution for California's pollution and our reliance on foreign oil.

Not what I think about Russia owning the parent company that own these mines. The worst case is that Russia makes a profit from selling to our uranium to us. Certainly not what that cretin in the WH said about it.

They bought the rights from a Canadian firm. If all they can do is sell the product here in America, how does that effect our national security. How does wanting to know if anyone in the Trump campaign helped direct the aggressive attack by Russia on our 2016 election make anyone a hypocrite?

Why the lies from the WH about the uranium deal? Again.

If they are willing to lie about that over and over, why not about colluding with Russia? Why should/would anyone believe them?

It's not exactly a lie. In many ways, we gave them 20% of our reserves to manipulate pricing and availability as they please. Helps them to be the dominant price setter on the Intl market. I just TOLD you -- they now decide how much to take out of that ground, IN THE USA, every year. And by buying up the production in Uzbek and other places, they can make us MORE dependent on them.

You're just not getting it. If there's a sudden need to increase nuclear capacity (and there should be for commercial power) -- how do we put sanctions on a country that can literally price us OUT of the nuclear fuel market? You're re-posting partisan talking points and IGNORING the realities of the thinking points.

 

[Siete]

we gave nobody any damn uranium in any percent, shape, form or fashion - spin it anyway you care to.

Neither Uranium One nor ARMZ holds an NRC export license, so no uranium produced at either facility may be exported.

NEVER HAPPENED - EVER.

THE END.

I don't think Trump ever once said Hillary is trying to help Russia corner the market on uranium so they can price us out of the market. Not once. He continues to say Hillary gave them 20% of our uranium.

NRC’s review of the transfer of control request determined that the U.S. subsidiaries will
remain the licensees, will remain qualified to conduct the uranium recovery operations, and will continue to have the equipment, facilities, and procedures necessary to protect public health and safety and to minimize danger to life or property. The review also determined that the licensees will maintain adequate financial surety for eventual decommissioning of the sites.

Doesn't refute a single point I made. The Russian company determines investment, production rates and pricing. These are just talking points in a useless attempt to justify this bad deal...

 

[The Original Tree]

"...the FBI's bust couldn't have come at a worse time for the Clintons as it came literally the day before Bill Clinton delivered a $500,000 speech in Moscow on behalf of a Russian bank with an interest in securing approval of the controversial Uranium One deal..."

Of course, given that the Clintons were on the verge of securing a windfall of donations for their "Clinton Foundation," which came shortly after the Uranium One deal was completed just a few months later....Hillary was forced to choose between exploiting an intelligence treasure chest of information for the benefit of the country at large or covering up yet another scandal that would potentially disrupt her family's personal self-enrichment schemes..."

What Do Hillary, Uranium One, And An FBI Bust Of A Deep Cover Russian Spy Network Have In Common?

My questions are:

1) At what point can liberals dismiss things such as the above because they supposedly come from conservative sites...and at what point does the burden of proof shift to the Clintons, and the Obamas and the liberals to explain just what the Hell was going on.

2) Why would a Russian operation:

a) involved in criminal enterprises, as are now proved and made public;

b) seeking to buy U. S. Uranium which needed the approval of the Obama administration and the Clinton State Department;

c) bother to stop and "donate" 145 million dollars to the Clinton Foundation; and

d) Why couldn't The Washington Post, a Pravda-like Shill for the Democratic Party, not be able to come up with a better excuse for the above than that it was sort of like people staying in a Trump Hotel to curry favor with Don Trump.

3) I have seen the number of 145 MILLION as the amount "donated" by the Russian Uranium Interests to the Clinton Foundation....but the amount is so enormous that I can hardly believe it myself...yet I have not seen it DENIED! Can any body prove it is the wrong amount?

Sounds like WATERGATE times 145 million dollars!

Don't forget the $64 Million Obama got for a book advance for a book he never wrote from a Russian backed publishing company.
Do not also forget that McCain, Feinstein, Mitch McConnel, Harry Reid, & Feingold, all approved this deal.
Do not forget that Comey, Mueller, McCabe, Rosenstein, Holder & Lynch all knew that Russia was passing out Bribes like Candy to members of the committee, and other politicians like Clinton and Obama to get this Uranium One Deal Done.

They not only didn't do anything about it, they actively looked the other way and didn't say anything about it.

I am beginning to think the whole FAKE Russian Collusion Story with President Trump was just a smoke screen to keep the new administration off balance and their hands tied so that the True Corruption and Collusion with RUSSIA would not come to light.

The so called scandal involves the mines in the US. Had a US objection been raised all the Canadian company had to do was get rid of the US mines and the sale could have been completed without needing approval from the US.

The real goal of the sale for Russia was to obtain the mining operation in Kazakhstan.

Again that is altogether different than the pseudo-scandal the RWM is crowing on and on about.
